The first webinar in this series was held yesterday and drew about 655 participants. Larry Scofield and Angela Folkestad presented on concrete pavement management and preservation. The webinar covered concrete pavement management and preservation including actual examples and case studies.

The pavement preservation series follows the successful 5-part series on concrete overlays and two-part series on ADA guidelines in design & construction. In all, the eight webinars (11 sessions plus video replays) presented thus far have reached more than 5,500 agencies/owners, consultants, and industry officials.

After the June 23 session, we will shift to a summer schedule that will be once per month until November. More details will be provided soon.

The webinars are the result of the collaborative efforts of ACPA, the CP Tech Center, IGGA, and the ACPA chapter network.

ACPA Provides Tech Training to Florida Engineers

ACPA this week presented two separate Concrete Pavement Preservation workshops in Florida. The one-day workshops were held in Davie and Orlando on November 4 and 5, respectively.

Working with the Florida Chapter-ACPA, Eric Ferrebee, ACPA Technical Service Director, and Mark Snyder, President of Pavement Engineering and Research Consultants, LLC, presented information on: proper timing of concrete pavement preservation; pavement evaluation; and full- and partial-depth repair.

They also discussed dowel bar retrofit and cross-stitching; joint and crack sealing; diamond grinding and grooving; concrete overlays; and how to choose appropriate preservation strategies.

FHWA Offers Pavement Restoration Checklists

Monday, 19 August 2019 13:12

In the resource spotlight this week is the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center’s (CP Tech Center’s) series of updated and new pavement preservation checklist.

Originally developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 2002, the preservation checklists provide excellent information on innovative pavement preservation techniques. Designed to guide state and local highway preservation/maintenance and inspection staff, the checklists provide useful information to contractors and others with an interest in concrete pavement preservation, repair, and restoration.
